Who was at the bottom of that earth
quake business O'Donovan llossa or
Benjamin F. Butler?
Mobile complains that the water in her
driven wells is not fit to drink, yet the
people go right along drinking it.
Editor Dana is said to be an
tender-hearted man. This for
the sympathetic manner in which he pats
candidate Butler on his prairie-lite sore
head.
John Kelly’s residence is said to be one
of the finest in New York, costing half a
million dollars. John hasn’t been a horny
handed laboring man all his life for noth
ing.
It seems to be about all Gen. Butler can
do to keep the Sun from openly espousing
his cause. The General will have to act
quickly to save himself from his friend
Dana.
There is said to be an unprecedented
rush of tourists to the Catskills this sum
mer. There are thousands, however, who
are forced to remain in the towns and lis

Gen. Roger A. Pryor’s son denies that
his father is supporting Butler and says
he is lor Cleveland. This is an indica
tion of how the best Irish sentiment stands
on the Presidential question.
As one of the greatest fruits of the In
ternational Exposition the merchants ot
New Orleans look for the establishment of
direct steamship lines to the principal
ports in Central and South America.
The Republicans have beat the Demo

engaged nearly all the most talented
liars in the country. The few that they
have not secured will probably volunteer
for Butler.
Talmage and Bob Ingersoll are getting
personal. The former spoke on Ingersoll

at the Free Thinkers’ Convention next

The law to punish those who make an
unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide
looks like a cruel statute, especially in
case of a man who has been whipped

Baltimore is gorged on watermelons.
Saturday morning the number on ship
board in the basin was estimated at 120,-
000, and they were selling at from J-'i to
sl4 per 100. Baltimore receives immense
quantities of melons by schooners from
North Carolina and Virginia.
Treasurer Wyman says the new two
dollar bills ought not to be used until six
months after they have been printed.
However, they will be a legal tender on
Nov. 4, and the Republican agents will

gan-
It is- charged that Butler had a three
hours* conference with Secretary ( han
dler on the Tallapoosa one day last week,
and as soon as the conference was over
the boat weighed and steamed up
to Bar Harbor, wh*e Chandler was at
once closeted with Blaine. If this is true,
it looks very much like Butler's candidacy
is really a part ol the arrangements of
the Republican managers.
The towage boatmen of Baltimore have
been having the “tug of war” for some
weeks. A Philadelphia company began
cutting the rates, but were promptly met
by the local companies, and schooners
were hauled at from $8 to s*"' to and from
quarantine. The Philadelphia concern
failed to run the Baltimore men out of
their own waters and itself withdrew
from the light badly worsted. The old
schedule will now be restored.
There is a civil district in Franklin
county, Tennessee, m which not a single
Republican vote has ever been cast. This
county voted unanimously for secession
in 1861, and came very near trying to
secede before the State went out of the
Union. Although a thinly populated
county at that time it sent over twothou
aand soldiers to the Confederate Army. It
sent one regiment, which contained two
or three companies from adjoining coun
ties, or over a thousand men, to Virginia
before the State seceded.
One of the most curious eases of smug
gling on record was detected in New York
Saturday. A lady was detected landing
from the Bremen steamer with over SI,OOO
worth of artificial eyes concealed in her
bustle. Her husband is a dealer in opti
cal instruments, and the pair having vis
ited Europe this summer thought to clear
the expenses of the trip by doing the gov
ernment out of some SSOO customs duty.
The eves and bustle were confiscated, and
the husband was bailed, he having as
sumed the blame for the attempt to
smuggle.
President Arthur appears to be enjoy
ing his vacation up in the mountains of
New York. With croquet, parlor theatri
cals and other innscent amusements, he
is almost a boy again, and no doubt he
will return to Washington much freer
from care and vexation than when he left.
He need not hurry back. The great and
glorious government can look after itself
awhile longer, and as for the Republican
cause, there’s Mahone and Elkins and
Jones and Company who will give it all
the physic it can stand in its present
enfeebled condition.
The frequent murders, robberies and
other outrages committed in sequestered
localities are enlisting a good deal of
thought as to the best method of
tion. Probably the village system of farm
residences which prevails in Europe will
some day be adopted to some extent in
this country. About the best thing that
can be done is to rigidly enforce the
vagrancy laws of the several States. If
this should be done, the tramp nuisance
would #oon be abolished, and suspicious
characters would find little pleasure in
at rolling around the country in search of
victiaM.
Slewing l'p the Party’s Record.
The address issued by the committee of
one hundred representing the bolting Re
publicans of Massachusetts is a docu
ment that cannot fail to arrest the atten
tion of men who favor honest government
throughout the entire country. It shows
in terse and pointed language the
rottenness bf the Republican party, and
gives unanswerable reasons why the
Presidential candidate of that party
should not be elected. It compares the
old leaders of the party—Lincoln,
Seward, Sumner. Fessenden, Stanton and
Andrew—with the leaders of the day—
Blaine, Keifer, Elkins, Robeson, Clayton
and Kellogg. This comparison ought to
make all decent Republicans hesitate
about supporting a party which recog
nizes such leaders. Men like these have
brought the party into disrepute. Their
practices have lowered the tone of
the public service , and encouraged
subordinate officials to rob the govern
ment. If the leaders had remained hon
est the country would not have been scan
dalized by the whisky ring and star route
frauds. There would have been no thefts
committed by department clerks such as
were lately brought to light in the Post
Office, Navy and Treasury Depart
ments. A committee of 100 arraigns
the party for the shortcomings of its
higher officials as follows: “We have seen
a Vice President driven into private life
by proof of personal dishonesty; a Secre
tary of War impeached tor participation
in felony; a Secretary of the Navy charged
with corrupt practices and leaving office
under a cloud of suspicion, only to appear
as a Republican leader in the House of
Representatives; a Secretary of the Inte
rior forced from his office by charges af
fecting his personal and official character;
an Attorney General compromised by
evidence of petty fraud. We have not
forgotten Colfax and Belknap and Robe
son and Delano and Williams.”
With a record like this it is not to be
wondered at that the Republican party
selected for its Presidential candidate a
man Who is known to have been a politi
cal jobber while occupying the responsi
ble place of Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives. Is it not about time that
the party which recognizes such leaders
was repudiated and driven from power?
An Australian Confederacy.
The enormous increase in the popula
tion and wealth ol the great Australian
continent has given it influence and pow
er very unusual in mere colonies. It
has been fostered and encouraged by the
British Government, and tne loyalty of
its people is not to be questioned. It may
be, however, at some future day that the
people of Australia will desire to with
draw from itie parent country and enjoy
the privilege of local self-government.
There is now scarcely a trace of seti
mont in favor of Australian independence
in the colonies, to judge from the tone of
the press there, and the letters written to
the leading English and American peri
odicals. But there is a movement pro
posed that may one day lead to results
not now by any means expected or de
sired by the movers. This is a proposi
tion that is ; now being agitated, to form
an Australian conlederation. A meeting
was held in Loudon last week at which
the question was discussed, and a reso
lution was adopted declaring that federa
tion is indispensable to avert disintegra
tion and secure the unity of the empire.
When Australia secures an imperial
parliament and comes to feel her strength
anu wealth, nothing would be more natu
ral than that a desire for independence
should gradually take possession of her
people. The country will be filled with a
population made up of different races and
nationalities, the affection lor England
will probably be overcome by local senti
ments and interests, and politicians will
spring up who will long for wider fields
for ambition than a mere colonial domin
ion can afford. When the population of
Australia shall reach 20,000,000, and its
wealth reach far up into the billions,
which will be in a tew years, a popular
revolt could easily displace the colonial
government, and the conquering of the
country would be an impossibility. It
may be fifty years hence, but there is ho
reason to doubt that Australia will some
day become a great and independent
nation.
Some of the most successful of the Aus
tralian colonists are Irishmen, and peo
ple of that nationality in this newer world
are constantly liecoming more numerous.
Australia offers peculiar advantages to
progressive and energetic men, and the
better classes of Irish can there rise to in
fluence and wealth even quicker, per
haps, than in America. As there i* no
hope that the independence of Ireland can
be accomplished in generations
to . come, it will not be sur
prising if the Nationalists soon turn
their attention to Australia. Properly
conducted emigration could make Austra
lia practically an Irish country within a
score or two of years, and it would be by
no meas a bad swap for the Irish people
to give up their poverty-stricken land.and
acquire homes in this rich and growing
continent of the South Sea. They would
infinitely better their condition in every
respect, and by abandoning their farms
strike a blow at landlordism that would
be tenfold more effective than dynamite.
Hear Both Sides.
A few men during the present canvass
have realized the folly of reaching a con
clusion too hastily. One of these men is
Henry Ward Beecher. He heard the Buf
falo scandal about Cleveland, and be im
mediately concluded that it was true and
that he couldn't support him. Investiga
tion proved that the scandal wasn’t what
the Rev. Mr. Ball and the Blaine newspa
pers said it was, and Beecher discovered
that he could support Cleveland without
hurting his conscience In the least, and
therefore announced that he would sup
port him.
Another man who jumped at the con
clusion that Cleveland was a bad man
was William I’urcell, of Rochester, New
York. Mr. Purcell was an elector on the
Cleveland ticket, and when the Buffalo
story was circulated he resigned because
he was satisfied, he said, from what he
had heard, that Cleveland was a moral
leper.
On Saturday Mr. Purcell published a
card in a Rochester paper, in which he
states that having heard the truth about
the Buffalo matter, he withdraws his re
marks concerning Cleveland. This pub
lic announcement of his changed views
he makes in justice to Cleveland.
It would have been much better for
both of these gentlemen if they had held
the ; r peace until they knew the bottom
facts. It is the failing of the majority of
men, however, to think they know it all
when they have heard only one side of a
story.
The Campaign in Florida.
The campaign in Florida, as fur as the
Democrats are concerned, is progressing
satisfactorily. Gen. Perry, accompanied
by some of the ablest of the party leaders,
is making a tour of the State. Everywhere
he is making a most excellent impression.
He is in thorough harmony with the pro
gressive spirit which pervades Florida. He
knows what Florida needs, and can be de
pended upon to use his influence to the
utmost toadvance Florida’s interests. His
opponent, Mr. Pope, is making a good
deal of noise, but arouses little enthusi
asm. Of, course, he hasn’t much of a fol
lowing outside of the Republicans, and
the Republican party in Florida is made
up principally of negroes. II Tope is
elected he will have to reward the ne
groes, of course, for their support. The
people of Florida have had all the
experience they want with ignorant
officials. A good many Republicans—
those who are anxious to promote the
best interests of the State —in all proba
bility will cast their votes for Perry.
They may vote the Republican national
ticket, but they cannot be depended upon
to support the coalition State ticket. They
want good government, because on that
the growth of Florida in wealth and popu
lation largely depends.
It appears that one of the “business
men of Buffalo,” on whose testimony the
infamous charge against Cleveland was
founded, is a professional witness who
has figured in several important cases,
and who has been several times indicted
for crimes. He figured to some extent in
the Keifer-Boynton investigation,
Letting out the Trnth.
.The New Orleans Postmaster, in a letter
to the Postmaster General defending him
selt against the charges preferred, by the
commission which examined his office,
says that he has some incompetent em
ployes whom he retains to satisfy those
high in power, but that he pre
sumes that the same condition of
affairs exists in every office of im
portance in the government.
This is a most remarkable confession.
The New Orleans Postmaster admits that
be is taYing care of the worthless bum
mers anjl henchmen of the men to whose
Influence he is indebted for his office, and
he has the audacity to say to
the Postmaster General that he
is on’.y doing what other officials
holding important offices are doing. Is
this New Orleans Postmaster so auda
cious because he is dealing with facts?
If he were not certain of what he is talk
ing about would he dare to publish to the
world that his party, to gratify the party
leaders, has saddled on the country
thousands of dissipated and incompetent
employes? He is well posted, doubtless,
respecting the condition of the civil ser
vice, and it remains to be seen whether
his plain speaking is received with favor,
or causes his dismissal. What answer
will the Postmaster General make? Will
he admit, by his silence, that the offices
are tilled with the strikers and bummers
of Congressmen and Senators, or will he
deny the charge and insist that incompe
tent men are to be found only in the New r
Orleans office?
It is probable that the New Orleans
Postmaster’s charge will be allowed to
stand uncontradicted. The facts to sub
stantiate it are not difficult to find. But
what a comment on the methods of the
Republican party is such a charge! What
more is needed to convince the people
that it is full time to intrust the adminis
tration of the government to another
party? If Blaine is elected, taking into
consideration the elements that are now
supporting him, will not the offices be filled
with the kind of people that have
been forcid on the New Orleans Post
master? If Elkins, Kellogg, Brady,
Keifer, Mahone, Dorsey, Robeson, and
men of that stapip, are allowed to have
their way will it be easy to find competent
and reputable men in any of the offices?
The civil service law will present no bar
rier to their wishes.

the boy in the water and went to his rescue in
a boat. They overtook him and took him into
the boat. He was still bolding the pole, and
hooked to the line wa the cattish, which they
captured. The l>ov weighed eightv-flve pound's
and the catfish th'irtv-five pounds nine ounces.

A RESCUE AND A WEDDING.
How a Pretty Young Girl Found a Hus
band in the Water.
Two weeks ago, says an Atlantic City
special of Aug. 6, one morning, when the
beach was thronged with bathers, a pretty
pair of arjns were seen moving energeti
cally from out of a big breaker and then a
pair of limbs in red stockings took their
place, while the arms went underneath
and took their turn in clutching at the
sand. Then the cruel undertow swept
arms and legs and all swiftly out, so that
when Miss Dolly Patterson, of whose
anatomy these excited limbs were
a part, reappeared on the surface,
she was away beyond the line of
breakers trying to gain a foothold on a bar.
In a moment a big roller raised her
from her place and carried her out into
deep water. It was in vain that the
plump arms clutched whole handfuls of
water. The little heart palpitated faster
than ever, the hands and legs grew weak
er and weaker, and the little girl thought
one very brief prayer, with the “amen”
very near the “Our Father,” but it was
terribly earnest for all that, for Dolly was
drowning.
Then her senses were about to leave
her, when she felt a strong pair of sijn
browned arms encircle themselves arouiid
her like a boa constrictor and a few min
utes later she was stretched out on the
beach, the object of 50 curious eyes, and
the subject ot the most devoted attentions
from the owner of the sun-browned arms.
This happened two weeks ago. This
morning the guests at Bolton Cottage, on
Illinois avenue, near Atlantic, all assem
bled at a ceremony at which pretty Miss
Dolly Patterson was given heart and
hand to William F. Callahan, who
has sun-browned arms and a grip like a
python. They will not take a wedding
trip, because AVilliam is a lit© guard and
must 6tay on the beach and do his duty
this summer, but this will not prevent
them from eDjoying their honeymoon.
Too Young To Die.

Once upon a time Charon was surprised
to find a venerable female walking up and

dramatically demanding ferriage to the
portals of Hades. “And who are you?”
roughlv inquired the grim boatman.
“Alas!” cried the venerable female, “I
am a European prima donna.” “And
how old are you?” asked Charon. “Eigh
tv-seven last May,” replied the sorry
crone. “Then get thee hence,” cried
Charon; “this is no place for thee! What!
and wouldst thou court death at thy ten
der age, when so many artistic triumphs
await thee in America?”
A BALLOON IN POLITICS.
Prof. Rufus Wells’ Novtl Idea to Capture
Blaine and Logan Votes.
Prof. Rufus Gibbon Wells, a gentlemen
who has an extensive reputation as a suc
cessful teronaut, says the Philadelphia
Press, has landed in Philadelphia with a
big idea, which he proposes, if possible, to
bring to maturity iu this State. He sug
gests that in future the balloon shall take
an active pari in politics. It is no sar
castic allusion to the too abundant wind
bag that he is making, but a serious bona
fide proposition to politicians. He thinks
that five years from now no well-conduct
ed ward meeting will be without its bal
loon ascent.
“But what on earth for?’* asked an
amazed reporter.
“Merely as an attraction to get the peo
ple together,” was the reply. “Every one
will come to see a balloon,"and then when
you ouee get them there all you’ve got to
do is to make speeches to them and con
vince them. I think that the proposal is
one of the most brilliant that ever ema
nated from the mind of man. Pm in town
now prepared to accept contracts from
the Republican party all over tbe coun
try. 1 want to build thirty or forty bal
loons.”
“How have you been agitating the mat
ter?” inquired the writer.
“Agitating the matter!” exclaimed
the Professor, “agitating the matter!
Why, I’ve called twenty-eight times upon
Chairman Cooper, of the State Committee,
and by now he must have imbibed as
much about balloons almost as 1 know
myselt. I found Mr. Cooper very much
interested in my plans, but he told me
that, inasmuch as a balloon was liable to
hop over from one State to another without
much notice, it seemed to him that it was
a national rather than a local question,
lie therefore gave me the address of
Chairman Jones, of the Republican Na
tional Committee, in New York, and I’m
going to call upon him. Mr. Jones will
rapidly digest and assimilate my ideas.
“I will guarantee,” continued the Pro
fessor in sanguine tones, “that in ceun
try towns a balloon wHI attract the
bumpkins to a political meeting when
nothing else will. My scheme is to
send a gas balloon up first, under
neath it to have a tire balloon, and
under that a parachute. The para
chute I would attend to myself. When
the whole business was about five miles
up in the air 1 would board the parachute
and begin to descend. If it was in the
daytime I would wave the American flag
all the way down, and if at night I would
let off a lot of most brilliant fireworks.
Tnis wound tend to give eclat to the meet
ing, and stfr up popular enthusiasm.”
Prof. Wells thinks that balloons can
reach the North Pole. He has made hun
dreds of ascents in different parts of Eu
rope and South America, and during the
Franco-Prussian war he made a balloon
for the French Government iu which Mar
shal Bazaine was to escape from Metz.
The Marshal, however, capitulated before
the balloon could lie put in working order.
Prof. Wells has given exhibitions before
the Sultan of Turkey and his harem, in
Batavia and throughout England. He also
trained several Prussian officers in the
use ot balloons. Altogether he has spent
about 28 years in Europe in teronautic
pursuits. " lie is au American.
It was the Professor who designed a
balloon that should cross the Continent,
bearing a lovely maiden from every State
and an editor or reporter from every Ter
ritory. On the way from San Francisco
the maidens were to spend their time
waving different colored flags at the sur
rounding country, and the editors and re
porters in writing dispatches to their pa
pers, which were to be sent to earth every
hour in parachutes.
DEFENDING THE IRISH.
Grover Cleveland Defends Fenian Raid
ers Without Pay.
Among the delegates to the National
Democratic Convention, a few weeks ago,
says the Indianapolis Sentinel, was Capt.
O’Donahue, of New York, a member of
the Legislature of that State, ne was an
old acquaintance of Congressman Finerty,
and sought to revive old time memories
by hunting up the representative of the
Second Illinois district. He found him
one evening at the rooms of the lrish-
American Club in company with Wil
liam Fogarty, T. P. O’Connor, Michael
Kelly, John De Vay and a Mr. Kennedy,
a mutual friend, formerly a resident of
New York, but now living in Chicago.
“Do you recollect the last time we were
together?” asked Capt. O’Donahue of Fin
erty.
The latter gentleman nodded an affirm
ative.
Then Capt. O’Donahue related to the
party the story ol the Fenians’ raidol 1866
into Canada by a few zealous young Fe
nians whose imaginations had" been fired
with the belief that they would strike
terror to the heart of the mother country
by this invasion of Canada, and how the
United States Government had quietly
hitched a naval vessel to the transport on
which they •were crossing the Niagara
river into the English dominions and towed
them into port as prisoners.
“Do you remember the morning,” con
tinued Capt. O’Donahue, “when you and
I with the others stood before the bar of a
criminal court at Buffalo, without a friend
or counsel to defend us? We were a sorry
lot, a rash band of young men resting un
der a grave charge. While in this friend
less and helpless condition do you remem
ber the young man, an obscure lawyer at
the time, who stepped up and volunteered
his services in our defense? tie defended
us persistently and consistently and suc
cessfully. When we afterwards raised a
purse and presented it to him he refused
to accept it, saying that he was glad to
serve us, unfortunately situated as we
were, without reward. That man was
Grover Cleveland, the man justnominated
by the convention for President of the
United States.”
WEDDED AT NINETY.
A Jolly Old Pair In the Blue Grass
Country.
A quaint old couple with whom all Lex
ington claims kinship, says a Lexington
(Ky.) letter, are Dr. and Mrs. Chinn.
“There was a newspaper man from Chi
cago down here once and he wanted to see
all the curiosities, so they brought him to
see me,” said the old lady good-humoredly,
recognizing the fact that she is considered
one of the characters of the Blue Grass
country. Aunt‘Kitty Chinn came here in
1802. She remembers a visit made to St.
Louis in 1819, and the festivities of
the other day brousrht back to her
the memory of a barbecue she at
tended" on the Dunlop place when
President Monroe was present. Wonder
ful are the staying qualities of this Blue
Grass country is the conviction forced
when, after iistening to this old lady’s
vivacious reminiscences, the visitor learns
from her that sne is 98 years old. Dr.
Chinn has just turned into the nineties.
It has been less than ten years since these
two old people joined fortunes. They had
attended the same church for more than
fifty years and had been on friendly terms
all that time. One day, as Aunt Kitty
tells the story, she received a letter from
the doctor in which he reviewed thei*
long acquaintance, and proposed that
the few remaining days they had to
spend in the Blue Grass coutMry should be
passed together. She neeiUßct go to the
trouble of a formal replyrote her,
but it the proposal was üßplstetul she
could simpl' - send back the letter. If she
retained it, he would understand that she
looked favorably on his suit. The next
Sabbath when the old lady’s carriage
drove up in front of the church Dr. Chinn
stepped gallantly forward and helped her
out. “Doctor,” she said, “I have received
your letter and have kept it.” The fol
lowing Tuesday the aged suitor called,
and on the Thursday after there was a
Blue Grass wedding. Such was Aunt
Kitty’s latest romance.
A FUNERAL INSTEAD OF A WED
DING.
A Husband and Wife Separated Many
Years Embrace Over Their Dead Son’s
Coffin.
There was an affecting scene at the
funeral of George A. Thompson, who was
killed on the Boston and Albany Railroad
on Thursday last, says an Albany, N. Y.,
special. The parents of the young man
separated a few years ago, the father
taking a daughter and the mother the son,
her sole support, and now dead. When
the coffin was opened to enable a last
look to be taken at the face
of the deceased, the mother and
father stood on opposite sides of
the coffin. They had not spoken
for years, but as they raised their eyes
from their last look at their dead boy’s
features each met the other’s gaze, and
they impulsively embraoed each other over
the casket and a reconciliation took place,
each agreeing to forget the past. Many
of those present were visibly affected and
turned aside to conceal their emotion.
Young Thompson was engaged to be
married to Miss Mary Egan. Arrange
ments for the wedding, even to the fur
nishing of a house, had been made. But
instead of a wedding (east there was a
funeral cortege, attended with the above
remarkable episode.

DEATH OP MRS. EDISON.
♦
The Celebrated Inventor’s Brief Court
ship and Happy Married Life.
Mrs. Mary Stillwell Edison, wile of the
inventor, Thomas Aiva Edison, died sud
denly at a. m. Saturday, says the Her
ald,i at her late residence at Menlo Park,
N. J. She was 29 years of age, and leaves
surviving her three children. The story
of her marriage to Mr. Edison is a singu
larly strange and romantic one. When
he first formed her acquaintance he was
about 25 years of age. He had jusN in
vented the chemical telegraph, by means
of which could oe transmitted, he claimed,
on a single wire, 3,000 words a minute.
The telegraph, notwithstanding this, how
ever, became subservient to the Morse
system. While working on the chemical
telegraph he employed several young
women to punch the holes in the paper.
Among them was Miss Mary Stillwell.
One day he was standing behind her chair
examining a telegraphic instrument.
“Mr. Edison,” remarked Miss Stillwell,
suddenly turning around, “I can always
tell when you are behind me or near me.”
“How do you account for that?” me
chanically asked Mr. Edison, still ab
sorbed in his work.
“I don't know, L am sure,” she quietly
answered; “but 1 seem to feel when you
are near me.”
"Miss Stillwell,” said Mr. Edison, turn
ing round now in his turn and looking his
Interlocutor in the face, “I've been think
ing considerably of you of late, and if you
are willing to have me, I’d like to marry
you.”
“You astonish me,” exclaimed Miss
Stillwell. “I—l never—”
“1 know you never thought I would be
your wooer,” interrupted Mr. Edison,
“but think over my proposal, Miss Still
well and talk it over with your mother.”
Then he added, in the same offhand,
business-like way, as though he might be
experimenting upon anew mode of court
ship: “Let me know as early as possible,
as, if you consent to marry me, and your
mother is willing, we can be married by
next Tuesday.”
This was the extent of Mr. Edison’s
courtship. It is hardly necessary to add
that the highly favored lady laid the
abrupt proposal before her mother.
“Mahas consented,” she told Mr. Edi
son the next day.
“That’s all right,” said Mr. Edison in
reply. “We will be married a week from
to-day.”
And so it was. The two were married
in a week and a day from the beginning
of Mr. Edison’s novel and precipitate
courtship. In connection with his mar
riage, however, a story is told quite as
singular, but fully in keeping with the
one already given touching his courtship,
it is said that directly following the mar
riage he entered his laboratory in his wed
ding suit, and hastily throwing his coat
on a bench began work.
“Why, surely you are not going to work
on your wedding night?” remonstrated his
chief assistant.
“Suppose it is?” he quickly answered,
setting to work wtth renewed zeal; “the
Gold and Stock Company don’t care for
that. They want their instruments to
morrow, aiul they’ve got to have them,
marriage or no marriage; so here goes.”
The wedding trip of Mr. Edison ran into
the mfsteries of inventions. His wedded
life, however, is said to have been a sin
gularly happy one.
